I'm wondering how this is going to work with ATi cards... I have a feeling, not too well.. Good thing there is a nice new non-ATi card on it's way here. I feel a little guilty about it and am thinking I should of gone 4850x2 or 4870 1gb. Then again, I don't want to be labeled as a fanboy or anything. (like it matters)

I'll Label you FANBOY... lol.. j/k..

I still have my AMD/ATI rig in my wishlist... I was going to build it for Christmas... But, now I gotta wait for PII to come out... Grrr

tried out graphics pack, its got alot of tweaks, it looks WAY better, only adverse effects for me is load times, and the stuttering on loading of new textures is worse. but no real impact on framerate normaly.

I can say that it is a sight better. There's a lot of main textures, like wasteland ground, rocks, roads/streets, rubble, and that's good. However, there's still quite a bit missing, like inner city housing, indoor walls, subway walls, etc.

Some of that loss is assauged by the fact that there's quite a bit of smaller stuff, like newspaper/trash on ground, benches and trashcans, some weapons, some characters and quite a bit of other stuff too.

I imagine someone will take it a bit further being more thorough and possibly higher detail, but this is definatley a welcome start.

well i mean, overclocking cpu didnt bump typical framerate at all, and the texture pack didnt either, the only thing raiseing the cpu did was reduce load times,.... wondering why that would reduce load times... i didnt touch the fsb, i simply raised the multiplier from 6x to 8x

I reckon it's down to your CPU is able to decompress the game data quicker because of its increased speed.

Back on topic - why hasn't anyone posted before and after screenshots yet?

To say the truth I'm a bit wary of this texture pack. The site doesn't even mention the name of the creator/modder which is strange because modders are proud of their work... The site itself doesn't show before and after screenshots...

I think I'll just wait for Qarl's texture pack... hope it gets released soon.

i pud data files in falout rood directory and made 0 to 1 in save file as shown in first post.but waht about that txt file >ArchiveInvalidation who was inside downloaded hd pack.is it with some meaning or just nothing special?
